Ok, I guess it's time to reveal the true size of the water melon. Here it is in my hand, next to one of Tam's  mini knives. Yes, this is the same water melon and knife in the first pic.

I am afraid it won't provide much of a meal at this stage!  LOL

Kind of like eating a dove drumstick!

Well, two of them survived the weather. We still haven't picked them yet. Sure is correct though, we will have to watch out for the frost. They haven't gotten as big I hoped, but much bigger than the first pic. I will get a pic or two up tomorrow night.

Looks good Sue! Here are some updated pics of one of the watermelons. Only two survived. This is the bigger one and the other one isn't much smaller.

Sue and Jeremy,

It all looks good.  Jeremy when are you going to pick them?

I would have picked at least one of them already, but Dawn bought one at the grocery store.

Jeremy, I have always heard don't pick them while the stem is still green.

Thank you for that advice Charles. The stems are still green and I will wait.
